Happy Spring!

In Science this week we continued our learning about volcanoes. Ask your child about the three types that exist. Our Volcano projects are due April 29th! The kids are very excited about this!

In Social Studies we are learning all about the Civil War. We learned that President Lincoln was assassinated five days after the war ended by an actor at Ford's Theatre. We are also working on a very cool project using Google Earth with the help of Mrs. Gurley-Mozie. Our fifth graders will be teaching others how to use this incredible tool.

We are looking forward to our field trip to Merrill Auditorium next Monday. We will be seeing, We the People.

In Math we finished unit 9, studying area and volume and today we are starting algebra! Wow!

In writing we just finished some really fantastic journals and are now working on some neat persuasive writing!

Have a great sunny week!
